As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote RUN to this school with open arms!!!!
This is an amazing school with a true family feel. The principal, assistant principal and several staff members greet each child (scholar) personally every morning. It's such a great way for them to start the day, plus it builds a rapport with the between staff and scholars.
They don't have Common Core - yay!!!
They have technology available, but use it as an enhancement, not a daily occurrence.
They partner with parents, believe in family time, no homework on the weekends.
They are a classical school - focusing on history, Latin, and the Socratic method of teaching, which is getting the children to think critically, versus teaching to a test.
I can't say enough great things about the Principal, Dr. Edwards. He is a loving but firm Principal who knows each child, wears crazy hats in driveline and plays a guitalele in the hallways.
PLEASE give your child the best opportunity, not only in education, but in CHARACTER. Every month they focus on a new virtue or character trait and respect is a priority. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
